Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, 1913.

Application filed October 3, 1911. Serial No. 652,610.

objects to provide a simple article which may be attached to a bottle or other receptacle in convenient position for reference and use.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character wherein pro-- vision is made for protecting the pen wiper from dust and abrasion when not in use.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a conventional bottle with the improved device applied; Fig. 2 is an elevation of the improved device before being applied to the bottle or other receptacle.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

The improved device is designed to be ap plied more particularly to an ink bottle or ink well, but'may be applied to other receptacles or supports, and will generally be constructed of paper and felt, and comprises a body 10 of any suitable length or size and of any suitable quality of paper or like material, and will generally be of sufiicient size to extend around two or more sides of an ink bottle or ink well, and is designed to be pasted or otherwise Copies of this patent may be obtained for secured thereon. At one end the strip 10 is extended into a tab 11. The body 10 is designed to support a calendar 12 intermediate its ends, and this calendar may be formed of a plurality of leaves superimposed, each leaf containing the data for one month, as represented. At one end, the body 10 is adapted to receive advertising matter indicated conventionally at 13, and is provided at the other end with an absorbent member 14:, preferably of felt or like material, and designed to be used as a pen wiper. The member 14 is so located that the prej ecting tab 11 will fold over the outer face of the absorbent member and form a guard or shield to the same, as illustrated in Fig. l.

The member 14 is secured in any suitable manner to the body, preferably by pasting, and is in convenient position for use as a pen wiper. The outer face of the member 11 may be likewise utilized to contain advertising matter, as indicated at 15. The body 10, with its extension 11, when applied to a bottle, does not increase the size of the bottle or otherwise interfere with its ordinary use.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A new article of manufacture comprising a strip of flexible material adapted to be wrapped around a container and having an upwardly directed extension at one end foldable over the body of the strip, and a pad of absorbent material connected to said strip in position to be covered by the extension when the same is folded down upon the strip.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
